Abstract
- A study was conducted to collect and characterize the indigenous Kala zeera (Bunium persicum Boiss. Fedtsch.) accessions from the hills of northwestern Himalayan sates of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Around 1000 accessions were collected during this exploration mission, out of which diversity of 252 accessions was established through morphological characterization. The morpho-agronomic characterization and the analysis of trait data revealed significant variability in number of branches per plant, number of umbelets per umbel, number of seeds per plant, seed yield per plant and 1000 seed weight. The collection and characterization of these diverse accessions can prove useful in future Kala zeera improvement programmes in the world as this is the first such comprehensive report of the crop from northwestern Himalayan region of India.
